PRODUCTION OF ELECTROVISCOUS FLUID

摘要

PURPOSE:To facilitate the formation of an electroviscous fluid having desired viscosity. CONSTITUTION:Anisotropic particles which can orient upon the application of an electric field together with at least one polymeric dispersant are added to an electrical insulating medium to obtain an electroviscous fluid having an adjusted viscosity. Thus, the polymeric dispersant added can facilitate the formation of an electroviscous fluid of desired extensively adjustable viscosity without detriment to the properties of the fluid.
